Now a man says he was ripped off in a divorce case handled by indicted Judge Gerald Garson.

Louis Kaplan, 33, has taken legal action to reopen his divorce case because, he says, he was duped into giving up his interest in the couple’s $400,000 house in Kensington, L.I. Kaplan, a copy-machine salesman, claims Garson gave him permission to spend a $10,000 certificate of deposit on child support for his two kids, but the jurist then denied it, threatening to throw Kaplan in jail on a contempt charge if he didn’t restore the funds within hours.

Kaplan says he had already been in jail overnight on a trumped-up harassment charge his wife, Mina Kaplan, 32, allegedly pressed against him – and there was no way he was going back. He says that’s what prompted him to reach a settlement.

“He [Garson] totally put pressure on me to settle. He basically forced me to settle,” the husband said after a brief hearing in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
